1/100 scale scratchbuilt masting machine - July 2013

In case you’ve ever wondered how they get the masts on those tall ships: Using “a lot plastic, wood, and resin,” Marco scratchbuilt an 18th-century masting machine and East Indiaman ship based on artwork by J.J. Beaujan and drawings by Fredrik Henrik af Chapman, respectively. Figures by Preiser people the scene. Marco spent about 800 hours on the 1/100 scale project.
